G'day to you also Steve,
Yes I have Acrobat 7.0 installed. All my hyperlinks worked with Office 97,
and Acrobar 6.0. Thanks

By default you need CTRL+Click to follow a hyperlink in Word 2003 - this can
be switched off from tools > options > edit if you need to do so.

Graham,
The document does not even open, a screen flashes, and nothing happens. If
I have Acrobet open, the hyperlink goes to this document, no matter what the
hyperlink points to.

I don't understand your second sentence. Can you elaborate?

Graham,
If I open Acrobat prior to clicking on the hyperlink in my word document,
the hyperlink takes me to the open Acrobat document, regardless of the path
of the hyperlink clicked in word. In other words if I open Acrobat "ABCD",
and I click on the hyperlink <path>\"XYZ" in my word document, the hyperlink
takes me to the Acrobat document <path>\"ABCD". If I have no open Acrobat
documents, nothing opens, I just get a quick flash on the screen.
Thanks

Very odd 
However, I suspect that this is something to do with the file
association in Windows pertaining to Acrobat. My suggestion would be a
re-install of Acrobat. If that doesn't fix it, then despite the implications
of the web page URL name - try the suggestions at

I have read this post but don't see what any of this would have resolved your
problem. Did you ever get this resolved? If so I would like to know how. I
have the same problem.

I am having the same problem. When I downloaded Adobe Reader 7.0 was when my

any suggestions. Thanks

From my experience here with this problem it seems to be native to Acrobat
7.0. Uninstalling it and reinstalling 6.0 works fine. No problems with the
Hyperlinks then. This is on PCs with XP SP2 (all patches and service packs
loaded) and Office 2003.
